FNAL RFAFNAL RFA

Engineering design: K. Duel

●Designed using SIMION●Surface area larger than ANL RFA by 1.8x●Better focusing

● Captures +/- 10o cone w.r.t. axis of symmetry.

●1 grid compared to 2 grids● Every grid reduces

capture by about 20%. (25 lines/inch).

●Cup rather than flat capture surface.●Empirical evidence shows that FNAL RFA is 3x more sensitive than ANL RFA.

For optimum performance, RFA is coupled to dedicated high gain amplifier.

RFA ElectronicsRFA Electronics

High gain electronics connected directly to the RFA to reduce noise.

Designed so that amplifier can be bypassed if necessary.

RAD hard opamp (HS-5104ARH)

Electronic ground is isolated from beam pipe ground to reduce beam noise.

Time Domain ResponseTime Domain Response

Input on grid

Output from RFA

Takes 20 revolutions to get a peak value

All the responses were measured for each installed RFA with amps in situ so that they can be compared if questions arise as to whether the RFA is functioning.

Electron Beam TestElectron Beam Test

Electron beam test on the bench (L. McCuller)+Vg is retarding electrons. 100eV electrons used.

●Even if electron energy < Vg, some electrons will leak through. (Seen in sims for finite sized holes in grid)●Electrons bounce off RFA if Vg < 20V●Similar results for higher energy electron beam (up to 600eV)

leakE bounce off

Grid holes act like lenslets

ConclusionConclusion

RFAs have performed very well for about 1.25 years

RFAs have been very well characterised on the bench and in simulations.

RAD hard parts may not have been necessary.

Magnetic probes installed this shutdown.

Still working after about 3 months.

Microwave method needs more understanding.

Data from TiN, aC and Steel still being analyzed

Preliminary results show that TiN and aC are comparable in performance

aC may not be very robust.
